Maryolga Nieto expresses life experiences in more or less abstract paintings. Colour contrasts ranging from tender to splashing with texture (scratches in the paint or a build-up of layers of paint) play a major part in her vibrant canvasses. Life is the subject of Nieto’s work.
Capturing life is the essence of her artistic quest, which is no small task. But it is unnecessary to understand the tasks she has set herself to appreciate and enjoy her paintings.
A work by Nieto can be a mystery that may obtain its meaning through the personal interpretation of the viewer. Thus, you won’t find a definitive description of each work. That is the viewer’s responsibility through experiencing a Nieto.
One may enjoy the rich and forceful colours, while another perceives the balance between technical progress and nature. Nieto holds that appreciating a work of art requires an engagement, an effort of the viewer. The reward for this effort comes easily by understanding the beauty or the underlying motives and ideas.
Pleasing is not the sole objective of these works. Nieto wants to give the viewer something durable. Her work follows her emotions and thoughts. It is contemplative in a typical Latin American way, going beyond what is immediately visible.
